Special modes program
Electric motor drive
You can easily break-in new brushed electric motors using a variable voltage and running time. Note that
the iCharger cannot directly drive brushless DC motors and that brushless motors do require or
benefit from a breaking-in process.
With this function you also check the motor performance to optimize
your power-train. The break-in process is essential for maximizing the power of a new brushed motor. New
motors have square brushes which press up against the curved commutator. The goal for the break-in
process is to gentle shape the brushes so that they develop a curved surface that fits snugly against the
commutator giving greater conducting surface area and hence lower losses and higher efficiency.
Foam-Cut drive
In this mode, the charger acts as a convenient power supply for a hot wire foam cutter.
The value on the right side of the first line sets the test duration in minutes.
The second line shows the upper limit of current on the left and drive
voltage on the right. After setting the current and voltage press
Start/Enter
for more than 3 seconds to start the next process. A beep tone will sound.
Test time: 1 – 240 min, Current: 0.05 – 30A, Test voltage: 1 – 15V
Status display. The top line shows the drive current and voltage. The
second line shows the output capacity (mAh) and in the lower right corner
alternately displays the output power or total run time. You can stop the test
at any time by pressing
